Local Government Q&A
Must the resignation of a police officer be
accepted by the corporate authorities?
An unconditional resignation of a municipal agent, employee or officer,
including a police officer, takes effect when delivered to the proper authority
and cannot be withdrawn thereafter. In the case of a police officer, the
notice can be sent to a superior officer in the police department or to
the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. Neither the corporate authorities
nor the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners needs to accept the resignation.
